Thank you.
I'll go back to where I ended. I want to start by saying that I'm not against these provisions. It was a Liberal government that brought them in, initially, after 9/11, but we've had the benefit of experience over a number of years in terms of seeing what's effective and what's truly necessary.
So I'm trying to analyze this to see what we truly need to protect Canadians--and that's it; that's why I'm asking you these questions. They're not trick questions. They're simply trying to find out what we really need here in Canada.
So I'll ask you again. Do you have any information to suggest that since February of 2007--because we've been without these laws since February of 2007--because we have had that period of time without these laws, we've in any way been prejudiced or suffered or have been at risk and that they would have helped in some way? Yes or no.
